Thanks

Q: Please rank the above companies for level of risk and do you think that our Canadian banks could ever be subject to the issues at SVB? Is BN risky? I read one person writing how his advisor won't let him buy it. Feeling like I don't have much trust in anything right now. How is an investor to handle this uncertainty? I definitely see the benefits of diversity as you had always pushed. I'm also somewhat confused as most advisors have been pushing financials due to the benefits associated with rising rates. Your calm advise would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Q: I've owned shares in Brookfield companies for a very long time, not having sold a share. I'm now very overweight in my overall portfolio 15%, BN & BIP.un being the lions share with smaller positions in BAM & BEPC.
I need to reduce the size of the overall position, can you share thoughts on similar types of companies that I could buy with that type of shareholder alignment in the management team

Q: hi,
I am just off the phone with my accountant to finish off the corporate year end. we got to discussing investments, and Brookfield came up. my accountant echoed what I have heard over the years as a concern re Brookfield's business' and accounting. my accountant would not invest in Brookfield entities at this point, as they cannot fully understand the underlying business', or the accounting "complexities" (my interpretation of their more negative opinion). I still hold a reasonable amount of BAM and BEP.un, but am a bit worried about these issues. can I have your latest thoughts on this? cheers, Chris

Q: This question concerns a well diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings), focused slightly toward growth.

Looking to add to positions in ATZ, DOO, BN, BAM, GSY, KXS, TRI, PBH and T as well as initiate a partial position in WELL, all for long term holds (5+ years).

Would you rate any of these as a wait-and-see rather than a buy today? Please rate (1-10) in terms of your conviction to buy today, along with suggested target buy range [great, okay].

Thank you.

Q: Hello, I have too many financial stocks and I would like to sell one of the above but I'm not sure which one to let go of. I was thinking of letting X go or one of the Brookfield stocks. Your thoughts please, I feel I can get enough diversification with only four stocks in this sector. Thank you in advance.

Q: I previously owned some BAM.A Because of the complexity with tax reporting, I had this in a registered account. With the current set up, it appears that BN has more of a growth orientation, and this stock might be better held in a non-registered account. Do you have any idea what the distributions from BN might be composed of, going forward?
Thanks!

Q: Good morning - I'm looking at my current BEPC holdings which are in a loss position. I also have BIPC ( gain position at this time), BAM and BN. I'd like your thoughts on whether to sell both BEPC and BIPC and increase both my BAM and BN. I like BEPC but am not emotionally attached to it. Best Brookfield moves for someone with say ten year investment horizon and a desire for dividends? Thanks

Q: We have BN (full position) and BAM in Canadian $ accounts. 5i appears to consider these very good choices for part of a portfolio foundation. Do you have similar choices to recommend that we could put in our US$ accounts (TFSA, RRIF) ?
Thank you, as always.

Q: Good morning - I sold an interest in BEPC to generate losses over thirty days ago. My intention was to buy back in as I do like the whole Brookfield family. I still have BEPC plus positions in BIPC and BN. I do like dividends but I have a ten year horizon and am wondering which Brookfield to purchase. Your guidance would be appreciated. Thanks Al
